Alex Rodriguez, dissatisfied with the amount of attention from last week’s fiasco, is weighing the early results of his latest attempt to catch the elusive spotlight.

In case you missed it, in a game last week against the A’s, A-Rod was taken to task by Oakland’s Dallas Braden for running across the pitcher’s mound during an inning. Everyone know’s the pitcher’s mound is off-limits to baserunners, especially a Yankees legend who pulled no punches when discussing the issue. Some continue to defend the move, but A-Rod’s history of bush-league moves is undeniable.

My sources have told me that A-Rod has a full-time team of statisticians whose job it is to crunch numbers that they use to provide him a daily plan of action that gives him the best opportunity to break all of MLB’s offensive records. Apparently, it’s also part of their job to find statistics that can provide A-Rod some attention, good or bad. So it was no surprise when it was revealed that Alex Rodriguez is the Yankees’ undisputed king of milking the home run trot, and is well above league average. What is a surprise is that A-Rod may have been the one to leak the stats to the media after becoming aware of their ranking in his stats team’s “spotlight potential” formula.

On a side note, while it hasn’t been confirmed, it looks like we may have located a member of Alex’s underground stats team.
